Indirect pages
An indirect page is a page that the system finds by searching the clipboard at run time. The page reference to an indirect page starts with the keyword
prompt
followed by the page name.
With a Call or Branch instruction, the calling activity can identify parameters to the target activity by using indirect page references. For example, if you identify a page as promptALPHA, the system searches the clipboard for pages named ALPHA.
You cannot use symbolic page names (such as
primary
or
param
) after the keyword
prompt; an explicit page name is required.
You can use indirect pages in these rule types:
- Activities
- Correspondence
- Harness
- HTML
- JSP
- Paragraph
- Parse Infer
- Parse Structured
- XML
On the Pages & Classes tab of these forms, indicate that a page referenced in the rule is an indirect page by setting the Mode field to
prompt.
